Drone Calibaration

If you do not calibrate compass and IMU of your drone ever, can that be caused to motor block of drone??

I wonder why would you _not_ calibrate your compass? That's one of the leading causes of squirrely behavior and crashes, so is leaving the IMU uncalibrated if it's required, which it may be after a crash. Either is easy to do, just follow the prompts in GO or Fly. If the IMU won't calibrate, it's likely whacked and you'll wish you'd bought a Care Refresh policy.

If it's the vision sensors that need calibration, run the Assistant on a PC or big notebook and set the screen resolution so that the test pattern fills the screen from edge to edge. Running it on a higher definition monitor so the pattern is small and centered in the screen doesn't work.

I hope you get your drone flying around Sri Lanka soon...

No ... the compass and IMU are unrelated to motor issues.

Not calibrating the compass doesn't cause "squirrely behavior and crashes".
If your drone is flying normally, the compass is calibrated properly and that won't change unless you crash, rebuild or modify the drone.
Likewise the IMU doesn't require recalibration if the drone is flying normally.
